Soft Taco Burgers Recipe

I love to grill these sandwiches for quick summer meals or impromptu get-togethers around the pool. They're a snap to prepare, and no one ever guesses that they're low fat. —Joan Hallford of North Richland Hills, Texas

Ingredients

1 cup fat-free refried beans

1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained, divided

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 teaspoon salt

1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)

1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

8 flour tortillas (6 inches), warmed

1 cup chopped lettuce

1 medium tomato, chopped

1/2 cup salsa

Directions

1.In a large bowl, combine the beans, 2 tablespoons green chilies, onion and salt. Crumble the beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into eight 5-in. patties. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese; fold in half and press edges to seal, forming a half moon.

2. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill burgers, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 7-9 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Serve on tortillas with lettuce, tomato, salsa and remaining chilies.

"I liked this recipe. I would add cumin to the meat next time for flavor but you could really taste the beans and the bbq flavor in the meat. I did take out the onions and glad i did. It might have caused the meat to brake up to much"
